Learn how to make your own extra cheese and creamy beer cheese. It works with any melty cheese, and you can season it however you’d like. I use this as a base for many recipes, like beer cheese dip, nacho cheese, and even beer cheese soup. I hope you enjoy it. Recipe below.

Creamy Beer Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
½ stick butter
2 tablespoons flour or more as needed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Whatever other spices you’d like (garlic, herbs, etc)
8 ounces light yet flavorful beer (or use vegetable or chicken stock, or milk, for a non-beer option)
3 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese or any similar melty cheese
Instructions
First, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat.
Next, add the flour and stir. Cook for 10 minutes while continually stirring, until the roux begins to brown a bit. If it does not thicken up into a good roux, add another tablespoon or 2 of flour, then continue to stir until it thickens to a paste, and until it begins to brown lightly.
Add the chili powder and salt, then stir in the beer, still stirring continually, until the mixture thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese until melted and incorporated throughout.
Finally, stir in most of the shredded cheddar cheese a bit at a time, continually stirring, until it melts through and becomes an AMAZING CHEESE SAUCE.
Recipe Notes
It’s that simple! What you have is a super creamy, melty cheese that goes anywhere cheese likes to go. Makes about 2-1/2 cups or so. Enjoy!
